Join us Wednesday, December 11th from 5 to 7 p.m. Celebrating Sustainability with Futurewise and Pilchuck Audubon Society at Angel Arms Works in Snohomish www.AngelArmsWorks.org at the home and art studio of Snohomish Mayor, Karen Guzak and her life-partner Warner Blake. Learn more about the contributions and upcoming work of Futurewise and Pilchuck Audubon Society for Snohomish County and enjoy a tour of the beautiful Angel Arms Works.

Karen and Warner purchased the former St. Michael’s catholic church in 1993 and have made many modifications designed with the community in mind. Angel Arms Works has recently added solar to their already sustainable efforts! A 24 panel solar array with panels manufactured by Marysville’s Silicon Energy now resides on the south-facing rooftop of the building.

The Smart Growth Program has been an integral part of Pilchuck Audubon since the early 1990s, and works to train and empower local citizens to work for better growth management to stem the consequences of irresponsible development, and to ensure that sensitive areas and wildlife habitat maintain a high profile in growth management debates.

There is no denying Snoqualmie Ice Cream is a sweet end to a well-lived day…

Join us Wednesday, November 13th from5 – 7 pmfor some tasty samples of Snoqualmie Ice Cream’s gourmet flavors. The team at Snoqualmie Ice Cream uses fresh, local cream to craft custom ice cream flavors in their sustainable, award-winning Maltby, Washington ice cream plant. They don’t believe in secret ingredients, fluffers, fillers or waste and grow many of their ingredients on site. Learn first-hand how they are just as passionate about the environment as they are about their ice cream! From solar panels, to the pervious concrete parking lot, see examples of their sustainable practices throughout the facility and café.
